The Conservation and Environmental Heritage Show (Salone del Restauro) in Ferrara stands out as a premier event celebrating the art and science of heritage restoration. We attended that show and here are some photos. 

The partial restoration and structural consolidation of the Ferrara Castle (Castello Estense), a 14th-century moated medieval fortress located in the heart of Ferrara, northern Italy—as presented by the Ferrara City Council at the 30th International Conservation and Environmental Heritage Show 2025, Ferrara, Italy.

As part of our regular ongoing training, Core Conservation attended a lime plastering workshop at MGN Italy. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Naldo Busato, a Master Restoration Craftsman from Venice, who demonstrated us step by step the hands-on construction process of traditional Venetian Pastellone and Terrazzo lime-cocciopesto floors.

Here are some application examples of buildings painted with Terre et Lumiere lime paints.

Structural consolidation of an old door frame with a Roman lime plaster. The wall fabric decayed as a result of excess humidity from wind driven rain and salt crystallization.

This timber-frame cottage, situated in a conservation area, is around 400 years old. The project involved the replastering and thermal insulation of the cottage with breathable lime plasters.
